HolidayWorldFTW Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Looks like they are installing something on top of the Will power building with a scissor lift. I wonder if it's getting its own weather vein? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Maven Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 ^ Our ice cream connection (yes, I have one) tells me if your local store carries Prairie Farm dairy products, but doesn't have Thunderbird Ice Cream, ask for it. The store will be able to get it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyleparks77 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 With Thunderbird opening this week (what?!), I decided to go back in the forum to a year ago and see what was all that talk then. Turns out it was right around the time of the announcement of the removal of PP/G and the shock/disappointment/indifference that ensued. Oh how things have changed in just a year. Â Also, it should be noted that over 500 pages of posts have been added to this forum since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually great fun! Your right it really is crazy how much changes in a year! Heck most people didn't think Holiday World would be getting anything anywhere near a B&M wing coaster!

HolidayWorldFTW Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Anyone notice that the light fixtures in Thunderbird plaza appear to look like old style lanterns? What an awesome touch! And the weather vain, it's REAL and it works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJLehto Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Nice! My friend in Cincy is down to come out here, so finally I can knock this park off the to do list, (with KI) and the year with the B&M launched wing coaster seems like a good time to come looks great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJLehto Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Never having been here before, if anyone can suggest a generally good time to go I am open to suggestions. Sadly due to scheduling it pretty much has to be in July or later...so I may be unable to avoid crowds, but yeah any tips about the park are welcomed! It may be very difficult to plan with my Cincy friend who'll need time off or the days to kill so we can get out here and all...I've met TPR members before so if anyone wants to meet up, I am game!

ZeroGravity55 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 ^ If you're willing to wait, Labor Day weekend and Labor Day is a good time to visit. As for July until the middle of August, if it's hot it'll packed. Weekdays are better than weekends (avoid Saturday's at all costs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labor Day seems like it would be a crowded time? But if not really, that may be the ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I promise I don't bite, though I burn easily in any amount of sun. Sundays and Tuesday's for some reason have always been the best days for me to visit. Unfortunately daily operation ends at the same time as schools beginning their year. Weekdays are obviously your best bet, but I have no idea how many more people are going to be at the park this year with Thunderbird opening. If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask here or PM me! The new Park Map was uploaded onto the Holiday World website.http://www.holidayworld.com/park-tickets/park-map/ I do believe I see one of those Test Your Strength rides (or whatever they're called) in Sparkler's old spot.

ZeroGravity55 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 ^ It looks like the Strike-U-Up game from Skyline Attractions. Â Edit: And I think I'm right. From Skyline Attractions Facebook page: Â A few weeks ago, we installed Strike-U-Up at a new location. Although we can't yet say where it went, we thought it would be fun to see who can spot it first and grab a photo. (Hint: This image was not taken at the new location.)
